There were bugs in code as well as language, which have been fixed in this version. 2. There were various suggestions, inputs from various sources which I have tried to incorporate (which made sense to me and gave me time to do so). Most of it is the latest Windows Flavors in the market today. Summary Snapshot of the Book: Building Automated Test Systems-- Microsoft Windows starts with giving a background on Test Automation. Technical as well as process perspective. Briefs about the Technical background required to build Test Automated Systems and recommended automation methodologies. The book has taken some of most popular 3rd Party Test Automation Tools available in the market, practically implemented/automated a test suite/plan using all the tools, one by one. The Test Application/Plan picked up to automate is one of the most common among computing guys( for easier understanding) and has taken Test Plan of 1 particular Functionality, and the Automation is done using them. Using some of the most popular Test Automation Tools, and why do they fail,? Misleading promises by the Tool Vendors have always costed a lot to the Organizations, and still does not deliver what it is supposed to. Why do Organizations buy the expensive test automation tools and later regret,when they are not been able to justify the ROI. The Book has gone into Operating System Internals(only from the Testing and Automation perspective), and the inherent engines that support Test Automation. Explains the background insights as to what happens when you automate an application, how do the test automation tools handle it and what is the suggested workarounds to make them generic enough so that it works across across platforms removing the dependencies. Building Automated Test Systems –Microsoft Windows Version 2.0 Page numbers AUTHOR: ABHINAV VAID IN ALL THINGS BE MEN • The book has taken a couple of scripting tools\languages most of them under open source licensing and automated the same Test Suite(which we did using Test Automation tools using 10 different technologies\languages etc using OS internals which even Test Automation Tools also use. Conventions Used in the Book: There are a couple of conventions that I have tried to use to have a better clarity in terms of the important points and their associated interpretations. The same could be used as a handy Reference. Conventions Used Intended Interpretations R & D Related Stuff, and tips/scope to dig Food For Thought further if you look forward towards to dig further Tips Important tips for successful and handy Reference Beware about Running the Tests as there Precautions and Suggested could be side effects to the Lets say for workarounds Example being quoted, tips to take precautions, and suggested workarounds in case it happens.

  • List of TCP and UDP Port Numbers
    List of TCP and UDP port numbers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This is a list of Internet socket port numbers used by protocols of the Transport Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite for the establishment of host-to-host communications. Originally, these port numbers were used by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), but are used also for the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP), and the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). SCTP and DCCP services usually use a port number that matches the service of the corresponding TCP or UDP implementation if they exist. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses.[1] However, many unofficial uses of both well- known and registered port numbers occur in practice. Contents [hide] y 1 Table legend y 2 Well-known ports: 0±1023 y 3 Registered ports: 1024±49151 y 4 Dynamic, private or ephemeral ports: 49152±65535 y 5 See also y 6 References y 7 External links [edit] Table legend Color coding of table entries Official Port/application combination is registered with IANA Unofficial Port/application combination is not registered with IANA Conflict Port is in use for multiple applications [edit] Well-known ports: 0±1023 The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 are the well-known ports. They are used by system processes that provide widely-used types of network services. On Unix-like operating systems, a process must execute with superuser privileges to be able to bind a network socket to an IP address using one of the well-known ports.

  • Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring
    Windows NT ...: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - Chapter 9 - Performance Monitorin Page 1 of 13 [Figures are not included in this sample chapter] Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring AN OLD ADAGE SAYS, "IF YOU can’t measure it, you can’t manage it." Even if you can measure something, how can you tell if your changes are making a difference if you don’t have baseline information? It’s important to monitor a server’s or work- station’s performance to maximize your investment in these tools. If a user complains that her computer is too slow, you often need more information to fix the problem. For example, if the problem is loading Web pages on a computer using an analog modem, the modem is probably limiting the system’s performance. However, if the computer is an older model, certain operations may wait for the CPU to finish processing. In this case, a complete system upgrade may be the best solution. The usefulness of performance monitoring goes far beyond handling user expectations. A network and systems administrator can use information obtained by analyzing the operations of existing hardware, software, and networking devices to predict the timing of upgrades, justify the cost of replacing and upgrading devices, and assist in troubleshooting. Performance monitoring ultimately reduces TCO and is a vital part of managing any IT environment. Performance monitoring helps answer important questions about your current environment. For example, you may want to know which activity specifically uses the most resources in your environment. If you determine that it is loading Web pages, then upgrading the RAM or the CPU speed of client machines may not help much.

  • High CPU Utilization in Newer Windows Versions
    High CPU Utilization in Newer Windows Versions Article ID: GV16-03-15-t Release Date: 03/15/2016 Applied to Windows 8 and later versions Windows Server 2012 and later versions Symptoms In newer Windows versions, the Performance tab in Task Manager often shows a CPU utilization of 100% when running GeoVision software with GeoVision dongles or capture cards installed. 1 Explanation In newer Windows versions, the CPU utilization takes into account of the CPU speed and is not calculated the same way as the CPU usage seen in Windows 7 and older versions. A 100% CPU utilization in Windows 10 is not the same as a 100% CPU usage in Windows 7. When running GeoVision software with GeoVision dongles or capture cards, the power saving mode of the computer is automatically disabled in order to avoid stability issues. Do not restore the power plan to default settings, which will enable the power saving mode again, even though the CPU utilization will appear lower in the Performance tab of Task Manager due to the lower CPU speed used during power saving mode. Looking Up the CPU Usage There are two ways to see the actual CPU usage in newer Windows versions. Method 1: Using Windows’ Performance Monitor 1. Click Start, type perfmon in the Search box, and then press Enter. 2. Under Monitoring Tools, click Performance Monitor. The CPU usage is displayed. 2 Method 2: Using System Idle Process in Task Manager 1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) and click the Details tab. 2. Look for System Idle Process in the list and subtract its CPU usage from 100% to obtain the current CPU usage.

  • Using SMART for Customized Monitoring of Windows Services
    Using SMART for Customized Monitoring of Windows Services Gregory A. Pluta Larry Brumbaugh William Yurcik National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign {gpluta,ljbrumb,byurcik}@ncsa.uiuc.edu ABSTRACT We focus on examining and working with an important category of computer software called Services, which are provided as a part of newer Microsoft Windows operating systems. A typical Windows user transparently utilizes many of these services but is frequently unaware of their existence. Since some services have the potential to create significant problems when they are executing, it is important for a system administrator to identify which services are running on the network, the types of processing done by each service, and any interrelationships among the various services. This information can then be used to improve the overall integrity of both the individual computer where a questionable service is running and in aggregate an entire network of computers. NCSA has developed an application called SMART (Services Monitoring And Reporting Tool) that can be used to identify and display all services currently running in the network. A commercial program called Hyena remotely monitors the services on all computers attached to the network and exports this information to SMART. SMART produces various outputs that the system administrator can analyze and then determine appropriate actions to take. In particular, SMART provides a color coordinated user interface to quickly identify and classify both potentially hazardous services and also unknown services. Keywords: Windows services, Windows processes, host intrusion detection systems (IDS), host monitoring, network security monitoring, security situational awareness 1.

    List of TCP and UDP port numbers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search In computer networking, the protocols of the Transport Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite, most notably the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), but also other protocols, use a numerical identifier for the data structures of the endpoints for host-to- host communications. Such an endpoint is known as a port and the identifier is the port number.

Ports are used in the TCP [RFC793] to name the ends of logical connections which carry long term conversations. For the purpose of providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is defined. This list specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port. The contact port is sometimes called the well-known port."[1] Port TCP UDP Description Status 0 UDP Reserved Official When running a server on port 0, the system will run it on a random 0 TCP UDP port from 1-65535 or 1024-65535 depending on the privileges of Official the user.

  • The Definitive Guide to Windows Software Deployment
    tm realtimepublishers.com Windows The Definitive Guidetm To Software Deployment Chris Long Introduction By Sean Daily, Series Editor Welcome to The Definitive Guide to Windows 2000 Software Deployment! The book you are about to read is not only the definitive technical resource for information on Windows 2000 software deployment, but represents an entirely new modality of book publishing. The founding concept behind Realtimepublishers.com is the idea of providing readers with high-quality books on today’s most critical IT topics—at no cost to the reader. Although this may sound like a somewhat impossible feat, it is made possible through the vision and generosity of corporate sponsors such as New Boundary Technologies (formerly Lanovation), who agree to foot the production expenses for the book and host it on their website for the benefit of their website visitors. It should be pointed out that the free nature of these books does not in any way diminish their quality. Without reservation, I can tell you that this book is the equivalent of any similar printed book you might find at your local bookstore (with the notable exception that it won’t cost you $30 to $80). In addition to the free nature of the books, this publishing model provides other significant benefits. For example, the electronic nature of this eBook makes events such as chapter updates and additions, or the release of a new edition of the book possible to achieve in a far shorter timeframe than is possible with printed books. Because we publish our titles in “real- time”—that is, as chapters are written or revised by the author—you benefit from receiving the information immediately rather than having to wait months or years to receive a complete product.
